My chat functionality (also for existing chats) is disabled and I can't read your DMs. in the UK, age verification is now required for this functionality. I do not want to give personal data to KWS, the company contracted by Bluesky for age verification. To contact me pls reply to a post / email me.
Tect from Wikipedia stating the following about KWS: In July 2025, social media company Bluesky began requiring users in the UK to register with KWS in order to access certain features, in response to the Online Safety Act 2023. Reviewers including Rupert Goodwins of The Register and Simon McGarr of The Gist have criticised the service for the amount of personal data gathered, and for the fact that such data could be acquired by an as-yet unknown third party if ever the business is sold.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Yesterday, many Palestinians (some children under the age of 18) who had been held without charge & denied their basic rights by the Israeli government were finally released

But thousands more remain in arbitrary detention under appalling conditions and must not be forgotten

Please join me in a new campaign to help protect Ukrainians in a very special way. My Ukrainian friends chose to call this campaign Freedom is Action. They are making an important point. One way to find our own courage is to act in support those who are showing it

Y'all. I just got ChatGPT to do everything in R for this manuscript. I mean EVERYTHING. And it's all legit and reproducible. I'm shook.

How are we mentoring our trainees in statistics now? Who needs to learn coding in R line by line, and who doesn't?

Underdogs no more. Small rodents emerge as the power-house of prairie ecosystems.

New research reveals that prairie dogs boost grassland soil and vegetation health even more than bison—making them key players in prairie restoration.

Himalayan balsam’s success in Europe is aided by its adaptive flowering time and climatic flexibility, meaning this invasive plant could spread even further as conditions shift.
